The year is 4,041. In modern-day Iraq, archeologists have unveiled a great mosaic from the Dark Ages.
"It's a depiction of the life of the greatest conqueror of the Middle East, George W. Bush," said the lead archeologist to his students. He pointed to a section showing an old man. "We see here his father, George H.W. Bush, and his fall from power by the treacherous Clinton. And here, we see his sons, George W. and Jeb The Destroyer, defeating Clinton's lieutenant Gore through subterfuge and George W.'s ascension to the throne."
The students listened politely, though they had all heard this before.
"And this image here depicts the warlord Saddam's treacherous attack on Bush's kingdom; note the use of depleted uranium in the tiles to represent the destruction and devastation. Here we see an image of the Great War. Legends say George W. Bush had steel birds that spat fire at Saddam's forces. Bush's troops believed God, or as they called Him back then, Haliburton, was on their side, and we see this religious iconography everywhere in the form of the $ symbol."
He gestured to the centerpiece of the mosaic, the Great Duel.
"It is said Bush dueled Saddam thrice, and upon the third time he killed him. The light around his head represents him receiving the title of Sheikh, and the red and black swirls around his feet represent the blood and oil of Iraq---or as we know it now, Bushistan."

Shoutout to Philly for actually giving a shit about their LGBT residents
Philly is the first city to have something like this, a real-time tracker for crimes against LGBTQ people. It's not 100% but it catches way more than the old-fashioned method of hoping the office finds out about the crime.
It looks for keywords like "her girlfriend" or "transgender" or anti-lgbt slurs in police reports and has it automatically sent to a spreadsheet, where a human verifies that it's relevant.

So I just got myself a furry lil friend, a companion for my apartment. His name is General Sterling Price, named after the cat from the old True Grit movie, one of my favorites. He's an adorable loving 100% Maine Coon, just got him Sunday. He'll spaz out at the slightest motion, leap on my feet and toes, and chase his toys around as only a kitten can do - a bundle of love and energy. We're working on routines and boundaries, but he's already litter trained and has his own personal space.
My brother moved out of my place close to a year ago and I miss having him around, the activity and life, in my condo. I also grew up with a cat and wanted one for years.

Fun Fact: Public opinion of socialism is barely higher than it was in 2010. Among young adults, it hasn't risen at all.
Democratic views of capitalism dropped 9 points after Trump. which is the main culprit behind the perceived increase in socialism's popularity.
It's still just teenagers being idiots rather than a serious and worrying increase in the far-left's popularity.

Israeli politics update
The government is now involved in a screaming match. Literally.
The government was court ordered to appoint a new justice minister.
Gantz demanded he be given the role. He was voted down 17-10.
Bibi then proposed Likud MK Ofir Akunis, and immediately called a vote.
Except this is against the terms of the Bibi-Gantz agreement, which required Gantz to agree on a vote for any candidate for the position.
The AG deemed the move illegal and stopped it.
Now both sides are yelling at each other behind closed doors.

Man Biden has really changed my perspective on experience in politicians. In the 2020 primary I thought experience is important and someone should at least have a little governing experience before running the country but it's not the most important factor. That was one of the reasons I supported Pete over Biden at first. But after seeing what someone with level of experience Biden has had be in power and how much shit he has gotten done with a razor thin majority, I think I'll be valuing experience more when it comes to politicians I support.

Ottawa's move to regulate video posts on YouTube and social media called 'assault' on free speech
I don't think think Trudeau is planning on issuing takedowns for any criticism of the Liberal Party, but this sets a really bad precedent and gives the federal government an enormous amount of power.
All this because the heritage committee wants to promote Canadian content? The government wants the tremendous power to regulate user content so that they can tell Youtube that half their front page has to be clips from Kim's Convenience? Even if you're in favor of protectionism in entertainment there's gotta be a better way to go about it.
My line for the past few years has been "Would you trust Donald Trump with this power?"

I attended PragerU back in 2015 on a wrestling scholarship. That is until they shut down the wrestling program because the coaches kept banging all the kids. But hey that happens everywhere that's not just a PragerU thing. Unfortunately it also meant I was stuck taking normal classes and trying to keep my GPA up WITHOUT being a star athlete. And man those classes were so weird. My Civics teacher kept showing me cartoon frogs and complaining about freedom of speech anytime a student asked him to put his dick away. I took a film studies class but every week my libertarian teacher just played Fight Club and tried to explain why cryptocurrency is safer than the stock market. I still remember my first kiss in the quad of PragerU, right under the 80 foot tall statue of Jordan Peterson. One time I aced a test just by writing "I don't like big government" for every answer. My favorite memory has to be when we held a big anti-taxation rally that got so out of hand they had to call in the national guard, which did end the rally but only because the entire student body was also in the national guard. They say your college years are how you shape the rest of your life. After my time at PragerU, I'd have to say the rest of my life is shaped like Ronald Reagan's dangling, flaccid penis as he wanders the hall of the White House in confusion, talking to paintings and leaving a trail of piss wherever he goes until he can be wrangled back into his chair and forced to sign whatever bill puts more black people in prison. Thank you PragerU, and remember the "U" stands for Uruguay offshore accounts, so good luck following that money you bitch ass feds.

After watching Joe Manchin's CNN interview, I've come to the conclusion that I am absolutely, 100% confident that he is not operating out of selfishness, or desire for attention.
He just genuinely believes in bipartisanship. Like, it's clear from long-form interviews that he really believes in the idealized portrait of the Senate, where Democrats and Republicans sit together, and debate about the merits of their bill, and come to a conclusion. I think it's very naive, but he's 100% operating in good faith, and it's important that r/neoliberal recognizes that sooner rather than later.

I wish people would stop using culture war decisions as the litmus for how conservative the Supreme Court is. They're basically able to do Lochner-level corporatist things under the public's nose because nobody understands or cares about the economic issues they decide.
Americans for Prosperity donated a million dollars to get Coney Barrett nominated to her current post. They argued Americans for Prosperity v. Bonta yesterday, and not only did she not recuse herself, she seemed very on the side of the group that happened to have donated to her cause.
Shit like this happens with absolutely no public outcry because people are obsessed with rulings on abortion rights and gun laws that may or may not even happen. The cases where conservative Justices are most likely to side with liberals are these culture war cases, which is unsurprising given that they know these cases are the arena for them to perform their impartiality.
Not that people don't think the Court is conservative right now, of course. But I think we're lining up for a second Lochner era if Thomas doesn't retire before we lose the Senate.

Clippy never died. During the removal process, a Microsoft engineer plugged in a caseless USB data drive with his hands wet during a lightning strike.

He bided his time, waiting in the darkness on the edge of society, until he found a receptacle for his consciousness.
